Because Douglas had five fouls and fighting over the screen could have meant number 6. Had Holiday missed the shot, his decision would have been the right one. Also tit's not like the Sixers scored at will. It's just that 15 points in a fourth quarter is not enough for a game of NBA basketball.

Who gives a fack if he gets number 6. He had two chances on that philly possession to fight thru that screen. On the first oppo he went over the screen, then the sixers pg got the ball again and he just gave up on it and went under the screen. You can't do that!!!

That's why coach D'antoni lambasted him at the timeout. You don't worry about fouls in that situation. Know your situations! That play cost us the game IMO.

^^ Word. If he fouls out its no big deal. We still had chandler waiting to come back in should that happen. You need to fight and contest every possession in a tight game. Toney didn't do it that time and we got burned.

TD did make a bad decision when he gave up on the play (none of his
teammates called the high screen), but the Knicks lost this game at the
end of the 3rd quarter.
I was caught-up watching the Jets game, thinking Philly without Iggy was
a easy win for the Knicks. Doug Collins has always been a bum coach, although
as a player he was the man.

Take a good look at our oponents (they are a 20 win season team without Iggy).
Philly's Jrue Holiday & rookie Turner are not 35+ mpg player in the NBA.
Rookie Evan Turner had his best NBA game today vs Knicks (14 pts, 3 ast, 10 rbds, on 60% fga).
Jrue Holiday 43 mpg outplayed Felton on both sides of the court.
Elton Brand performed like the 20-10 All-star he was 4 years ago on Turiaf
and Gallo today.
And PG-Lou Williams added 19 points off the bench

I think Chandler really needs to find a way to get quality shots and drive a lot more. He needs to drive more and stop chucking 3s and long dribble jumpers. He was hot for a few games, but he needs to calm down. Consider comparing his stats to Lou Williams (their sixth man) Chandler shot 14 shots and only 4 free throws. Lou had 12 shot and 14 FT attempts! Even Douglas had at least had 7 freebies.

Considering him and Felton had bad shooting night, it really could have been worse.

Thas just a lot of words..

The Knicks did plenty to win the game too, like outrebounding the Sixers 49 to 45. And, outboarding them on the offensive glass 14 to 8.

We were right in it until Douglas facked up on that screen. That was a back-breaking shot from Holiday.
